KORANY, HANNA 1893

Mrs. May Wright Sewall

My dear Madame

You left Chicago on Wednesday afternoon, taking with you most that was charming noble, veautiful, enlightening, entertaining in the circle of the World's Fair and that is your precious presence which used to shed light charm and beauty to the surrounding atmosphere. To say that I feel keenly your departure to say that I miss so much the light of your eyes, the sweetness of your voice, the wisdom of your conversation, would be but a useless repetition of the same thing over and over again, yet I love to linger on the illuminous page of my American life yea of my whole life which create in me a new force for future activity and let me to belive that woman could be ever so great since you yourself are

a woman. I am glad that you know me enough to belive the sencerity of all I say, to believe that I love you more that I loved anyone else here, having found you the best and the greatest and how many besides my humble self beleive the same thing. I wish you could understand the Arabic language the language of romance, poetry, expression for then I would write you an arabic letter where my love to you, my regard to your noble self, my appreciation of all your great glorious efforts and deeds, would find expression in words and I would have some satisfaction of writing something worthy of you and to you. However I shall have to make the best of my English, trusting that your unbounded generosity would pardon all drawbacks and mistaktes.

I came here to your headquarters to write you my letter, feeling that I couldn't better in the spot where the incense of your presence is still felt with its delicious fragrance, but I am sorry to say it is no longer the rendez-vous of the best at the fair. Many of your friends remember

you and the charming evenings at your Chicago home, and most of them feel sad at heart that the salon of the Exposition is at an end.

Really it does seem that with your departure departed the greatest charm and pleasure of this World's Fair, which is going to be after few weeks a dream of fairy land a record of the past.

I came also here to see the dear general 'as you call her' Miss Anthony, but unfotrunately I did not see her yet.

I hope that you and Mr. Sewall reached home safely and found everything just as you want it. Please give Mr. Sewall my best regards and accept for your dear self the best love, esteem and regard.

My God save you and bless you my queen

Yours truthfully Hanna K. Korany
